Kong Wobbler Interactive Dog Toy Review

Kong Wobbler Interactive Dog Toy Review

There aren’t many toys that last a long time in this household but the Kong Wobbler has been around for a long, long time. I was hesitant at first because I’m cheap and they make me skeptical given my fur babies track record for destruction.

I will say it’s not completely indestructible though; when I first got Harvey the Wobbler,  I accidentally left him with it for a few hours and after that it wouldn’t close anymore, he managed to break a few pieces off. I replaced it because it is such an easy way to keep my dog occupied.  Our new Wobbler wont have a scratch on it; it’s pretty durable and tough.
 

Harvey Loves His Kong Wobbler

Even with repeated uses Harvey still gets excited to play with it. It’s fun watching him push it around with his nose and paws. Jumping around and growling at it.

I don’t have to worry about him eating too fast. Large deep chested breeds are predisposed to bloat also known as gastric dilatation-volvulus if they eat too quickly. All of the excess gas can cause their stomach to turn and it cuts off blood flow.

Harvey is a picky eater. The Kong Wobbler solved that problem right away. He now looks forward to getting his treats and having to work for them. It’s amazing what one simple game or activity like feeding from a toy can do for a dogs brain.

Pros of the Kong Wobbler

  • Easy to clean, dishwasher safe
  • Great for dogs that eat too fast
  • Gives the dog a mental workout
  • Makes the dog work for dinner
  • Dogs have fun playing, rolling it around
  • Great for peaking the interest of picky eaters
  • Easy to fill

Cons of the Kong Wobbler

  • It can be loud when knocked around
  • On the large size the hole might be too big for some kibble
  • If not supervised dogs will start to break pieces off (not easily though)
  • Base is really low, have to hold upside down to place a lot of food inside

 
Extremely Useful For Fast Eaters

Basically it’s a hard plastic Kong shaped toy that you fill with food; the dog nudges it around to slowly get food from the opening. It’s great for dogs who scoff down food, it automatically slows them down. It’s also some great added mental stimulation for high energy dogs. Something as simple as making your dog work for their food really does mentally challenge them.
As I mentioned before dogs that eat fast might become prone to bloat; the Kong Wobbler is one guaranteed way to slow them down.

Would I Recommend The Kong Wobbler?

Adding a little bit of challenge to my dogs dinner is added mental stimulation for him. When living with an active, high drive dog that’s quite invaluable. He enjoys using it; it’s a little extra workout for his brain each evening. Yes I would recommend the Kong Wobbler to anyone that’s looking for an easy way to help keep them busy and mentally fit.
If you’re looking for an easy way to keep your dog busy I would definitely recommend a Kong Wobbler – and I know Harvey would agree.

Sugar and Crumb Icing Sugar Review

Good Morning Everyone. I love to cook, I love to bake and love to try new things. Hence why I started a cake and bakes business. There is one thing I love more than anything and that's trying new flavours. This is where the amazing brand Sugar and Crumbs come in. Sugar and Crumb have an amazing range of natural icing sugar and cocoa powder  that I just couldn’t refuse trying out. Not only that, it was the perfect excuse to bake cake!  Sugar and Crumb have a large number of icing sugars so I took the plunge and purchased a couple. Jaffa Twist, Bubble Gum, Coconut & Lime and White Chocolate and Raspberry. The package is stylish and  eye catching when it arrived. It contains recipes for simple cupcakes and also butter cream icing using the product. What I was also pleasantly surprised to find they can also be used to make fudge, meringues, marshmallows and other delicious treats. Obviously, I will be giving these a go at a later stage. A...

 Hello Jelly Beans! Anyone here like chocolate? Ok, Does anyone here like chilli chocolate? Yes I hear you shout, But have you had any quality chocolate? Grim Reaper's Hell Raiser Milk Chilli Chocolate  is chocolate for chilli heads. There are plenty of chocolates out there with 'a hint' of chilli but this one is not designed for those people. As Grim Reaper foods develops their packaging designs continue to grow. This bad has the great touch of being sealed on the edge with a ribbon with I love.

Innocent milk chocolate corrupted with Naga chillies, orange oil, clove oil and cinnamon, bringing you heat summoned from the deepest depths of hell. This devilishly hot bar will test even the most seasoned of chilli lovers !" I would say that is a very accurate and honest description of the wonderful contents awaiting you inside. Each ...
